HISTORY

Janie
Lightfoot has been running her textile conservation and restoration
studio for over 35 years. Janie is an accredited conservator and
has worked extensively in the public and private sector, both
nationally and internationally, including recent projects in
Albania and India. Janie also acts as a consultant for several
major institutions; she is an associate lecturer at University of
the Arts London and a frequent speaker at conservation and textile
conferences. Her passion for textiles and collecting is what has
driven the studio to where it is today.

The studio
has a long history with working with museums, dealers, auction
houses and a number of private collectors.

We are
based in North West London and run out of two fully equipped
studios. We are currently a team of 8, with a broad skill base,
allowing us to take on a wide spectrum of projects, ranging from
large 3 dimensional textiles to fine intricate
items.

The
extensive studio collection allows us to work with students and
interns, encouraging the development of conservation skills for the
future.
